Echo echo echo
Can you imagine how it hurt to wake up to nothing?
To be lying there and not hear you return my call.
Cause it's not like you to leave without a kiss or something.
Don't I... Deserve 5 minutes after 4 years?
Why would you... Leave with him? Who do you believe?
Who told you... That I'm no good and I don't deserve you?
I'm the victim of a fallacy.
When your with him, I hope you hear my love echo.
It was easy for you, but it's hard for me to let go.
When he doesn't treat you like the way I did...
I hope you remember. You're gonna miss me.
You're gonna hear my echo...
So you walked away without giving me a reason.
You turned off your phone cause you want to be alone.
I'm missing beats from my heart (from my heart).
My hearts so cold... Could last like a winter season.
Girl I... Deserve 5 minutes after 4 years
I know you... Don't really want this to be the end.
I swear it's not true... Baby all the stories that you've been told.
I dare you to turn your back. I know I made some mistakes.
But I promise... Things wont be the same.
When your with him, I hope you hear my love echo.
It was easy for you, but it's hard for me to let go.
When he doesn't treat you like the way I did...
I hope you remember. You're gonna miss me.
You're gonna hear my echo...
I know I messed up before.
I've realized what I've destroyed.
You know that I'm a better man.
And I'll do what I can.
I hope you understand
I'm just trying to figure out...
Why it's taking so long for you to come home.
Now the telephone rings and I picked up... But there's nothing but air.
When your with him, I hope you hear my love echo.
It was easy for you, but it's hard for me to let go.
When he doesn't treat you like the way I did...
I hope you remember. You're gonna miss me.
You're gonna hear my echo...
When your with him, I hope you hear my love echo.
It was easy for you, but it's hard for me to let go.
When he doesn't treat you like the way I did...
I hope you remember. You're gonna miss me.
You're gonna feel my echo...
The song "Echo" by Ronnie Lewis Jr. is a heartbreaking composition about lost love and the struggle to let go. The repeated use of the word "echo" represents the singer's plea to be heard and remembered by his former love, even though she has moved on with someone else. The first verse talks about how difficult it is to wake up to no response from the person you love, and the pain of not knowing why they left. The singer feels like he deserves an explanation and some closure after being together for four years.
The second verse is about the betrayal the singer feels when he learns that his ex has left him for someone else based on rumors and lies. He challenges her to turn her back on him and see the truth for herself, and promises that things will be different if she comes back to him. The chorus repeats the idea that the singer hopes his ex remember the love they shared and that she will eventually come back to him.
The bridge of the song is where the singer admits his own mistakes and the damage he has caused in the relationship. He acknowledges that he has been a better person since their breakup and is just waiting for the chance to prove it to her. The song ends on a bittersweet note with the singer answering the phone, but realizing that it's only silence on the other end -- a reminder of the echo he's been left with.
